This Company has been formed for the construction of a Railway from Douglas to Peel (passing through St. John's), n the I s l e of Man. The improved trade of these important towns, as well as the prosperous condirion and increasing Population of the island, and the rapid augmentation of the "litinber of v i s i tors during late years, call for the immediate ei,duction of railways, its The capabiliti es o f t h e Island are great; and Mineral products are acknowledged to be rich in yield 1 3 :a r, 0 avove average value ; whilst around the Coast there elten4ive Fisheri es , an d an unlimited supply of Sea• treed for Manure. The expense and trouble, howev,r, of la nd -carriage, have hithe r t o ren d ere d th ese advantages com paratively unavailable. Slate Quarries are in active operation; and the quality of the Slate is equal in clos-ness of grain and durability to hear St the great Welsh quarries. The Granite the Livp.• °Lin ' compares favourably with that now used in rail w P"l Dock Works, and would at once, by means of 0 aY facilities become available for export.

Such 'Visitors, attracted by the antiquarian ' eL ies, scenery, and other objects of interest, would, as a it atter of course, go by the proposed Railway from Douglas to the interior, and across the Island to Peel. sklu T he highest me di ca l au th or iti es b e ar t es ti mon y t o th e 13brity of the climate and purity of the water. cheapTh , i ,, et uresque is united with the more solid advantage of . p ~'"og.

The lease is for 9i ye .rs, at a ground-rent of £7OO per annum; it has a frontage of ao feet, and 170 feet in depth s and contains 12,0,0 squire superficial feet.

With a very trifling outlay thee in accord axe wito the plans and designs originally m4c e, will be converted in about thr,,e wce!.:s in:o Offices, and two-thirds of the building has a ready been let, the ground floor and mez nine floor bang rented by the . Credit Mobiiier and Credit Foncier Companies. These Pre mises are Leasehold fur V years, at a ground-rent of £ooo per annual. Blocs D 'consists of the now and substantial block of Offices, erected within the last three years, and are built in the most übstan: manner. It contains fifty-five offices, be sides vaults, the whole, exc. pang four, being let, and offers being made for these. It is Freebnd, has a front age ot 52 feet and depth of 8o feet, and contains 4,160 superticial square feet, and is aiiu ned a: 6r, Great Tower-street, pea' Mark laL e. Block E is the largest block in the City; it is situated in Bishopsgate-street, opposite St. Helen's-Place, with a thorou hfsre to be got through to Old Broad-street, and in the centre of the block adjoins Gresham House ; it contains 25, 00 square feet. It may be convenient to give an idea ot the size of this fine site of land, to say that it is more than four iimes the size of the Auction Mart, lately sold, and when covered will be among the largest and most conveniently ar ranged Offices in the City. This plot is Leasehold for 99 years, at a ground rent of £4,000 per annum. The price at which the City Offices Company (Limited) has agreed for the purchase of the whole ot th- before enume rated five blocks is £565,000, including all buildings thereon ; this price gives, after adding thereto the cost of purchasing the freehold . f the whole of the leasehold portions, and de ducting the value of the new buildings thereon, an average price of only £9 per square foot. which, compared with the prices paid for the three last properties within six weeks, gives the following results, viz. : Tho Auction Mart (Freehold), containing an area of about 5,80 square foot, cost t i 5,25 which gives an average of £2O per foot The Leasehold Premises, No. 80, Lombard-street, occupied by the Colonial Insurance Company, containing only 1,080 feet, sold to a well-known Banker for £31,000, subject to a grou al-rent of £5Ol per annum, for 6i years, which, a low ing as in former calculations tor purchase of freehold, and deducting the value of new buildings thereon, gives £37 per square foot. The Leasehold Premises in Finch-lane, lately occupied by t. e London and Middlesex Bank, containing. only 6,0 feet, realised .£lO,- anti this subject to a ground-rent of £5 per annum, which, allow ntr, tor purchase of freehold, and deducting value of new building, gives about £3O per square foot It will be seen, therefore, that if large profits can be rea lised, as they undoubtedly can be, on land costing .£ 0, £3 , and £37 per foot respectively, the prospects ...nd probable profits of those acquired by tills Company, costing only £9 per foot, will be evident at first sight ; if they were re-sold at even the 1 west of hese threi quotations, it would leave the City Offices Com.:,any (Limited) a very large profit on the cost. The Company's plan of operations will consist in adapting such of these premises as may be suitable, and erecting new buildings on the remainder, the whole to be let off as Offices suitable for Banks, large Companies. or Commercial and I Tofessional Firms ; and from calculations made, based upon moderate rentals, a return of from :5 to 20 per cent. on the outlay may be fairly relied on. The Company will also from time to time acquire other properties, as the op ; , ortunities present themselves, f.,r the purpose of re-sale or otherwise. By the issue of Debentures or otherwise, the paid-up Share Capital will be kept at the lowest possible point. It is believed that as an essentially Home Investment, one so secure, and at the same time so remunerative, is rarely brought to the notice of the public, being wholly free from the speculative character incidental to many joint-stock en terprises ; the model on which the business operations will be conducted will be that of Gresham House Chambers, in Old Broad-street. City Bank Chambers, Threadneedle-street. and County Chambers, Lombard-street., the success of which is well known, the only difference being, that whilst those properties are in the hangs of a few capitalists, the proper ties acquired by this Company will be distributed over a large body of Shareholders, which will thus put investors of mode rate means in the same position to reap the advantages of large returns on City property, which the magnitude of the amounts required has hitherto made it impossible to any but very wealthy men to undertake. In the allot nent of Shares, a proportion will be reserved for applicants who are Shareholders in the Mercantile Credit Association (Limited), and the Credit Foncier (Limited) ; the remainder will be distributed among the general public. In the event of no allotment of Shares being made, the de posit will be returned in fulL Should a less number of Shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposit will be made availabie towards the vayment due oa allotment, and the balance, if any, returned to the applicant. Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares in the form annexed may be obtained at the Temporary Offices of the Company, at the Offi:es of the Mercantile Credit Asso ciation (Limited), 21, Threadneedle-street; and the Credit Foncier (Limited), 80, Lombard-atreet ; also of the Bankers, Brokers, Solicitors, and Secretary. - T TIE CITY OFFICES COMPANY (Limited).

The columns of The Sun have on various OCCaSietl3 of late recorded trials of steam vessels fitted with double or twin screws, trials which have excited considerable interest from the great importance the principle under trial bore both towards the Royal and mercantile marine, efferlog as it does a power of maeaseaverieg a vessel when under steam such as never could have been attained by the single screw or the paddle. The public importance of the prin cipal hes been fully acknowledged, indeed, by its partial adoption by the Admiralty, and the testi mony given to its merits in the Rouse of Commons by Lord Clarence Paget, Sir Jas. Elphinstone, end others. These trials have hitherto taken place on the comparatively smooth waters of the Thames, but on Wednesday and Thursday, the 16th and 17th inst., the twin screws reached their as yet culminating point of success in the trial trip of the Atalanta from London to Calais, and thence in a race between that port and Dover with one of the fastest boats of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company. The Atalanta is an iron vessel, built by Messrs. J. and W. Dudgeon, of Cabitt town-yard, Millwall; is 500 tons burden, 200 feet long, 24 feet in breadth, 14 feet in depth, and is driven by two screws, with independent engines, the collective power being 200 horse. She is a smart, clipper-looking craft, possessing at the same time large carrying powers. Oa Wednesday she left Gravesend at 15 minutes past twelve, in charge of Mr. Leigh, Trinity Pilot, the wind being fresh from E.S.E., and the young flood tide coming up against ber. The steam was up for the first time, and it was, therefore, not intended to make any official trial of her speed be tween the Thames and Calais, the port to which she was first bound, but in passing the measured mile in Long Reach she was found to be going 14 . 138 knots, which certainly appeared to confirm the assertion of her builders that she would prove to be, for her tonnage and horse power, the fastest screw vessel afloat. The Nore light-ship was passed at 21 minutes past 1, the greater part of the time the port engine only having been at work, owing to some adjustment being required to the starboard crank bearings, but even under these disadvan tageous circumstances the distance, 221 miles, was made in 75 minutes. The wind was now freshen ing, but the water was smooth and the weather clear as the vessel kept on her course through the One Deeps and the Alexandra Channel, the engines making 120 revolutions without a rattle, and doing their work magnifi cently. At 4.30 p.m. the bold outline of the South Foreland was merged in the general dark outline of the English coast under the Atakanta's lee, while the white cliffs of France west of Calais were rising rapidly above the line of waters ahead. At 6 p.m. the Atalanta was in her berth alongside the pier at Calais, just ahead of the paddle mail packet Vivid, with which she was to try her strength across the Channel on the following day. The distance be tween the Downs and Calais could have been Eck. complished in considerably less time, quick as it really was, but for the vessel having been kept on a mid-channel course between Dover and Calais for some 10 miles, thas deviating from her direct course for the latter place. On Thursday the Atalanta crossed over from Calais to Dover, so as to steam back from the-latter to the former place in company with the Vivid, which was appointed to leave with the mail from Dover at 9 30. At 45 minutes past 9 the Vivid cams out, and the Atalanta having been placed in position as nearly as possible abreast of her, the race across commenced. From the time of starting the result was never for a moment in doubt. The Vivid, pitching her bows into the sea as she got clear of the land, was evidently making hard work of it, and fast dropping astern of the Atalanta, which, without throwing a drop of spray over her deck, was making her way in splendid style, and improving her position with every fresh puff of wind and roll of the sea. As the French land was neared the wind freshened, and as it so freshened and the sea rose the better the Atalanta behaved. Calais was reached in 77 minutes by the Atalanta, but the Vivid was 107 minutes—half an hour behind the double screw. The success was of so decided a character that it was considered un necessary_ to test the speed of the boat any fur ther, and a return course was therefore shaped for the Thames, where she arrived at 5 p.m., and where she will complete her outfit for the service for which she has been built. In crossing the Channel the action of the screw an each quarter was beautifully distinct through the deep, blue clearness of the water, and it was surprising to notice with what smooth solidity and entire absence of water disturbance of any kind they worked.

PROSPECTUS. While Exchange Banks an Credit Institu ions have been established to onne t this country financially with almost every f reign market, and to g ye fact ides for conveying to our sr ores every descr tion of me.chandi c, 't is remarkab'e that as soon as the operation of mport ng is performed the monetary facilitie are w thdrawn The bills drawn upon our merchants mature, and must either be -net by the mer chant's capital unaided or by sales. 'I hu when tempo ral.' y there is an excess of any co modity imoorted. its price is undu y depn-sed, and s ri u losses are incurre ordinary bin ers and discount houses dislike making ad antes pon merchandhie, having no organisation for exa mining the goods and correct y estimating their value. What they want are good bills, drawn on those who know ing, the value, have accepted for a fair advance. D vlsi nof labour is here as elsewhere found to be most convenient and profitable. To meet this want, which every merchant must acknow ledge, the Warrant Bank'ng Company is formed. The bu ,i -ness of the Company will mainly consist in making dv nces upon deposit of the staple articles of produce, represented by dock warrants or other means of absolute assignment, duly inspected and valued on behalf of the Company, and with a proper margin to allow for depreciation. These advances will be nawie in acceptances by the Com p ny of the drafts of its customers, and as every bill will re • oresent mer handles readily convert ble, and b at the sane time secured by the whole ca ita of a pewerail Company, the exact position of which w it be patent to al., there can be no doubt that the whole Dis ount Market will be available when it is desired by tit- holder to turn the bill into c..sh. It will be readily apparent that the existence of such an institution, while it will be of great service to merchants, and increase the stability of the entre class, will be an equal con venience to bankers and ols-ount firms, furnishing them with a class of bills rarely obtainable. In order to render the due payment of the Company's acceptances certain, the Directors undertake that the entire paid-up capital of the Company will be invested, and, so far as practicable, remain invested in British and East Indian Government securities, and upon deposit at call, and it is proposed that the capital thus paid up and invested within the first year shall reach the sum of at least £200,000. The field which exists for such an undertaking will be at once apparent from a glance at the Board of Trade returns of foreign impor s for the past year, which amounted (not to speak of home produce) to over £200,000,000. If we estimate the average stock of foreign goods held in warehouse, as equal to three months' consumption, it would represent an amount of £50,000,000. Advances may also be made when deemed advisable unon stocks and Shares, in permanent undertakings readily con vertible. A re qionable proportion will always be maintained be tween the extent of business undertaken at d the cal'ed-up capital. Should it be necessary, the latter will be increased to one million sterling, to be invested as already indicated, simply as a guarantee fund. Branches will, in due time, be established at Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, ,te. Svc. T is Directors will not reC , lve any remuneration until the shareholders have been paid £5 per cent. by way of dividend on their paid-up capital. Alter payment of a per cent. the Directors will receive one-fifth of the nett profits. No promotion money will be paid for originating this un dertaking. The preliminary expenses will be confined to the necessary disbursements _ _ Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be obtained of the brokers, bankers, solicitors, end at the tem porary offices of the Company, but no application for shares will be considered un'ess a deposit of £1 per share has been ly p id to the bankers of the Company. In the event of no a Torment being:mad , the deposit will be returned without deduction, and shou d the number allotted be 1 , ss than the number applied for, the payment in excess will be applied towards the balance of the deposit.

PRUSSIAN HEADQUARTERS, KOLDING, March 12. In default of great battles, the results of which speak for themselves, soldiers naturally make the most of small engagements, and it was amusing to observe the excitement the Austrians at Veile were in about the fight of the Bth, which was but a petty affair, although its features and the nature of the ground certainly gave it a peculiar interest. It had all the outline of a very serious and bloody engage. ment, an outline which merely required filling up by larger bodies of troops and a more stubborn re sistance. The preparations made were for a long defence, such as might have lasted for days instead of hours; but information from Danish sources has confirmed me in the belief that they were not made with a view to that particular affair, but long previously, when the course the war might take was quite uncertain. With larger forces, and had they fought with hopes of victory instead of merely fa the honour of their flag, the very advantageous positions which extend for some distance to the south of Veile would have been the scene of severe conflicts, the trifling cavalry skirmish mentioned in my last might have been converted into a serious combat, and the Austrians would certainly not have been allowed to establish themselves on the wind mill height commanding the town without much greater loss than the very small one they up to that point suffered. Even with a strong force, it may be doubted whether a serious defence of the town would have been attempted when once the enemy had got his guns upon the hill which so completely commands it, but the high wooded hills beyond it wouid surely not have been abandoned at the first threat of a flank attack. lam curious to see the :vanish account of the affair. The Dance at Voile and here declare that the let and 11th Regiments, which fought at Oversee, had not been reinforced since then, and consequently could be reckoned only as equal to one ordinary regiment ; but there is reason to believe that each of their four battalions had been made up, either by draughts from other corps or in some other way, to 600 men, and the 71a Regiment was probably stronger. The Viele and Kolding Danes, who are bitter against the Ger mans (and against the English, too, for not having come to their assistance) have got a story in which they obstinately persist, to the effect that when the heights north of the town had been abandoned and the retreat commenced, the Ist Copenhagen Infantry and the Danish Dragoons and Hussars waited for their pursuers on the top of the hill, and when the latter came up the Copenhageners delivered a close volley and charged with the bayonet, and the cavalry made a charge in flank, cutting up numbers of the Austrians. One person in Veile told me that he counted 130 dead Austrians. It is difficult to attach credit to these stories, and my own belief is that there was no fighting worth speaking ot after the fortified position on the centre hill was abandoned and the Danes retreated northwards. The Danes in Schleswig and Jutland have repeatedly told me that the Austrians and Prussians return their losses as less than they really are, but there is not the slightest reason to be alleged for their doing so, and it is well known that nominal returns of killed, wounded, and missing are published regularly at Vienna and Berlin. 'Where the Austriana chiefly lost at Veile was among the last houses of the town, when they came close under the fire from the heights. In this part of the affair Baron Lowenstern, a Holsteiner by birth, attached to the Staff of General Gablenz, is reported by his comrades to have particularly distinguished himself. When the infantry ad vanced to take the bridge and town, he dismounted from his horse and led them on, the large amount of red in his Austrian Malan uniform rendering him a conspicuous mark for the enemy. When the town was cleared he took up a dead man's rifle and cart ridges and bore an active part in the combat until the Danes retreated. It was then that, as certain Veile and Kolding burgesses exultingly, but I be lieve fabulously, relate, the cavalry and the intrepid Copenhageners (under the same colonel, Muller, who commanded them at Oversee) "smeared," to use the Danish term, the pursuing Austrians. If it be a consolation to these poor people to invent triumphs for their troops, none can grudge it to them, for they unquestionably have a good deal to bear just now, especially in the form of heavy con tributions in kind imposed upon them by the invad ing army. By some of the most respectable bur gesses of this place I have been assured that, since the first entrance of the Austro-Prussian forces, the little town of Kolding has daily been mulcted to the extent of 2,000 Danish dollars (2a. 31. sterling per dollar) in order to supply the rations exacted from them. This is very hard upon the people, even though they should ultimately receive compensation from their Government—as was the case, to a most liberal extent, I am informed, alter the last war in these provinces. The lodging of ,tho troops, too, although only for short periods at a time, has weighed heavily upon the Jutland towns and villages they have passed through. The billeting tickets (all those, at least, which I have seen), issued by the authori ties of the town, bore upon them that the soldiers quartered must also be fed. They have a right to coffee and other comforts, and I believe the understanding is that they give their rations and are supplied with meals—a bad Exchange for those who have to house them. In some of the poorer dwellings in which they are quartered the hosts themaelves live from hnd to month, and, having PR1CE...... ...4d. STAMPED ....sd. nothing, can, of course, give nothing, but where ' there is anything the foreigners demand and obtain their share, and I have myself been present when they entered the kitchens of houses and asked for their food, which the people seemed to admit that they had a right to in virtue of the terms of their billeting paper. They are entitled to straw to sleep upon, to lights and fuel, and of this last article they are by no means economical, probably feeling a good deal of warming necessary after all the cold they have gone through. Of the conduct of the men generally I must say that in no place that I have visited in Schleswig or Jutland have I heard any serious complaints. Here, in Kolding, I am told that, one night of the week just over, a great number of Prussian troops came in very late ; there appears to have been no regular distribution of billets; the men pat themselves up where they chose, some of them got drunk, and some shopkeepers complain of having been robbed. But even the bitterest Danes with whom I have spoken admit that, as a rule, the conduct of both the Austrian and the Prussian sol diery has been good, and that the exceptions have been verytfew, and not a single case has come to my knowledge of people having been beaten or otherwise personally ill-treated, as is so commonly the case when an army is in an enemy's country. I need not say that with this locust like cloud of soldiers living in great measure on the land, in a district where places like Veile and Kolding, which in England we should call large villages, aro the principal towns, things eatable get dear and very scarce. I hear of persons being put to great shifts for a meal—not for want of money, but because tolerable provisions are often not to be bought at any price. lam told that horseflesh is no un common food with the lower classes in this coun try, and few things would surprise me more than to be furnished with proof that some of the steaks I have lately eaten did not proceed from quadrupeds of that description. Here, in Kold ing, there are much fewer troops than there were, and some left this very morning, but others (Prussians) are expected to-day, if they have not already arrived, and there are a great many officers in the place, which makes it difficult to find quar ters. In campaigning, however, it is a great thing to get shelter, especially at this season, and a rug and cloak upon the ground or on a table may be accepted as a good bed when one has a roof over one's head and, as is here generally the case, a stove to warm the room. In front of Duppel, at the little town of Gravenstein, and in that neighbourhood, we hear that accommodation is much harder to be found, and persons proceeding thither are recom mended to take a carriage to serve them as a sleep. ing place in case of need. Three large vessels were lately seen going up in the direction of Aarhuus, to fetch, it is believed, the troops that fought at Veile and afterwards retired through Horsens. We are puzzled to conjecture the object of the Danes in taking that route, since there is no apparent reason why they should not have gone into Fredericia as soon as the Germans advanced from Kolding, since they did not propose making any serious stand northwards—which, in deed, they had not the means of doing, outnumbered and overmatched as they were. They have given themselves several long marches, of which one would think they had had plenty before, merely to have a I little fight at Veile and to return by sea, in ex- I tremely bad weather, at Fredericia, and perhaps to Funen, Nobody seems to know what has become of the Danish fleet. None of their men-of-war have for some time been seen. It is thought they may be lying in wait somewhere for the Prussian navy, when that force shall choose to make its appear ance—or at the entrance of the Belt, for the Austrian ships which have been reported as coning round in this direction. Wherever they are, if it be near to their own coast, they must have had rough work of late, considering the gales that have been blowing over this inclement Cimbrian penin sula, although the natives tell me that those gales, which in most countries would be talked of as tem pests or hurricanes, are nothing compared to what is sometimes witnessed in a land where it is no un common occurrence for houses to be unroofed and even completely overthrown by the fury of the winds. The Austrians have gone northwards, I know not how far; the Prussian headquarters continue here for the present, but it would not surprise me if in a few days they were to be transferred to Graven stein—although what is to become of the people they will there dislodge it is impossible to say. It is understood that the sieges of Duppel and Frede ricia, should they take; place, will be commenced simultaneously. Before, then, however, some time must pass. A good deal of heavy artillery has to be got up. I hear of some having arrived at Flensburg. That far, there is no great difficulty, and the railway has now been opened, at the par ticular urgency of the military authorities, to a place a short distance to the west of Apenrade. Bat where the railway ceases the labour begins. The roads are very heavy, especially the country roads, and even the highway begins to suffer from great traffic and want of regular repairs. A. friend who has just returned from Flensburg informs me that in some places the metalling of the high road is cut completely through. As for minor roads, most of them are full of deep ruts and holes, making the passage of heavy vehicles a matter of great difficulty. Nobody seems inclined to pre dict the probable date of commencement of the two sieges. Some perhaps doubt whether they ever will take place, thinking that if the five great Powers have agreed upon a Conference they will not allow their project to be wrecked on Denmark's refusal. Of those who may thus doubt, some per haps, also hope that the war is virtually at an end, and that there will be no more of this fruitless bloodshed. Of course, military men engaged in a campaign are slow to express such a feeling, and, with a more powerful foe before them, probably none in the AustroTrussian army would for an instant entertain it ; but in a war where the forces on either side are so unequal it is evident that even from the most complete triumph no great glory is to be gained. The taking of Duppel and Fredericia might give opportunity for the display of much valour and of excellent military qualities; in sieges, too, the dis proportion of numerical force in great measure dis appears; but many thousand lives might be sacri ficed before the places were reduced, and for what? That foreigners may pity the pigmy whom the giant has crushed. _ In an attack on Fredericia—which, of course would necessitate a siege of some duration—a large part of the assailing forces would probably have to camp out, especially if a report which has just reached me, that the Danes are destroyinghamleta and detached houses in the neighbourhood of the fortress, should prove to be correct. Except at Fre dericia and Duppel, there seems no chance of fur ther fighting in .this campaign, unless the Dan es should risk a descent on som e p oint of the coast where they may im n gise they can obtain an advau tege as partial compensation for their la te . nmiaishtahpeisr. to Some of their friends have ex p ressed conviction that they will not allow tho campaign to end without some dashin g attem pt of the kind, but I suspect they w ill find the Pr ussians and Aug erilig up her©, and al though t he trims everywhere pretty well upon their guard, no probabi l i t y of For the present there seems tahnoyutghingl) f i nt e rest Ocur courtesy and kindness sho wn me by Marshal Wrangel, General Falkenstein, and the Staff in general render their headquarters a more agreeable residence to me than any other I am likely to find in this part of the world, I think it right to leave them for a short time and to visit Gravenstein and the • neighbourhood of Duppel whore I have not yet been. My next despatch, there fore will, I hope , be f rom the headquarters of Prince Frederick Charles. You have really some strange people in England. Mrs. Elizabeth Cottle, with whose eccentric commu nications most public men at home and abroad have ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE, HOME CIRCUIT.—MAIDSTONE, March 17. (Before the Lord Chief Baron.) George Costin, 22, labourer, and Ambrose Lee, 30, described as a mariner, but who is better known as " Gipsy Lee," were charged upon an indictment, and also by a coroner's inquisition, with the wilful mur der of John James Hill. The prisoners were also charged with robbing the same person, and with using personal violence to him at the time of the Commission of the robbery: Mr. Barrow and Mr. Mereham conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Ribton defended Costin, and Lee was undefended, but at the request of the Court Mr. Sharp watched the case:on his behalf. Although these prisoners were charged with the serious crime of wilful murder, the case was in reality merely one of highway robbery, and it was only by a construction of law that they became amenable to the more serious charge. The Chief Baron having summed up, The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty on the charge of murder. The prisoners then pleaded Guilty to the charge of robbery, accompanied by violence, and sentence was deferred. The cases disposed of on the Civil Side have been of the most uninteresting character. Out of the five special jury cases one was withdrawn; two, which wore cross actions, were referred ; and the other two did not present any features of interest to the public.
